1. Chapter 1

**Hi everyone! This is my first MvA fanfic, I've been wanting to make one for a long time, but I could never get a story quite right. I thought of a Christmas story for MvA, but I don't like rushing the season so I won't start writing that until November. I thought of this story while I was shopping, so enjoy! I don't own MvA, I just own the OC, so don't sue me.**

**In a snack factory in Iowa:**

"I'm telling you, it's not going to work," said one of the scientists.

"Look, it can't fail," said the other scientist, "If I take some ranch dressing and insert it into a strawberry and add a little LSD, I can make a delicious pudding! Don't worry, I've done this dozens of times."

"Was that in your dreams or while you were hung over?"

"Fine, don't help. But when the boss tastes this and says it's delicious, I won't say that you helped me and you won't get that promotion."

"Fine," said the scientist reluctantly, "But if this blows up in your face, you're taking the heat for it Frank."

"Don't worry," said Frank, "What could happen?" He inserted the ranch dressing into the strawberry and.... SPLAT! There was pink goop all over the walls.

"Well, this is just great," said the scientist as he wiped goo off his forehead.

"Oh shut up," said Frank. Suddenly, the goop began to slide of the scientists and the walls and make one big pile of goop.

"Uh frank, what's happening?" asked the other scientist. Suddenly, two white ovals popped up in the middle of it's forehead and soon had small black dots in the middle of them. They were eyes. The creature blinked a couple times and then stared at the frighten scientists. They stared back. A mouth grew on the creature and it formed a smile.

"Hi," it said and a friendly, female voice. The scientist screamed and ran out the door. The creature didn't know what to think, so it started to look around the room. She saw a shiny silver spoon, and her first instinct was to stick it in her mouth.

"Mmmm," it says with a smile, "yummy!"

******

Insectosaurus, The Missing Link, Dr. Cockroach, B.O.B, and Susan were all sitting in a secret government faculty. The monsters had earned their freedom, but since it was hard to find a place for a 49 ft. 11 in tall woman and a giant butterfly to live, they decided to stay there and they could still come and go as they please, as long as they didn't destroy anything.

B.O.B was sitting in the middle of the floor looking glum. He had claimed that his Jello girlfriend had dumped him.

"I'm starting to get worried about him," said Susan looking concerned.

"He'll be fine," said Link, "it was just Jello."

"But still," said Susan, "I haven't seen him this depressed before."

Suddenly a giant door opened up and an old man came riding in on a jetpack. It was General W.R. Monger.

"Monsters," he said "We have a new assignment. In a small town in Iowa, there's an indestructible blob eating everything in site. Now why does that sound familiar?" Everyone turned to B.O.B. He looked up. "What? Was so familiar about it?" The monsters rolled their eyes and turned their attention back to Monger. "Now let's move out Monsters before that thing eats an entire city!"

********

The Monsters' helicopter had just landed on a highway in Iowa.

"This is Iowa," asked Link when he got out, "Where's all the corn fields?"

"That's a stereotype," said Monger.

"How do you know, did you use to live here?"

"Actually, I did," said Monger glaring at Link. At that point Link thought that he should just be quiet.

"Okay, we should probably split up," said Dr. Cockroach, "Susan and I will look on the east side of town, Link and B.O.B the west, and Insectosaurus will search from the skies." The monsters took off towards town right away.

"Excuse me, have you seen a giant blob?" B.O.B asked a running lady, but she seemed too scared to even notice him. B.O.B. tried asking someone else but then he saw the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

It was a pink blob with two beautiful eyes. It was only a couple inches shorter than B.O.B and was a little curvier. It was in the middle of eating a payphone when it noticed B.O.B. starring at it. It stared back. It then took the payphone out of it's mouth. "Hi," it said, judging by it's voice, it was obvious the pink blob was female.

"Hi," said B.O.B. The pink blob started to go towards B.O.B. "Who are you?" she asked.

"I'm Benzoate Ostelyzene Bicarbonate, or you can call me Bob, whichever's easier," he said with a smile.

"Why is everyone screaming and running?"

"They're just afraid of you, but I'm not afraid of you."

"You're not?"

"No. Where did you come from anyway?"

"Over there." She pointed at a snack food factory.

"Oh wow," said B.O.B, "I was made in a snack food factory too! Wow we have so much in common!" The pink blob smiled at B.O.B, and B.O.B smiled back.

"B.O.B, did you find...." B.O.B and the female blob turned. They saw Link with a cocky smile on his face. "Well well, who's your new friend B.O.B?"

********

All the monsters were at the secret faculty. Monger had just finished giving the female blob her orientation.

"I'm afraid we don't have any open rooms for you to stay in..." started Monger, but B.O.B interrupted him.

"Uh, she could sleep in my room," he said. Everyone looked at B.O.B.

"Thank you," said the pink blob smiling.

"So," said Dr. Cockroach, "what is your name, my dear?"

"Ummmmmmmmmm" she said thoughtfully, "I don't know."

"How 'bout Kenny?" said B.O.B.

"That's a boy name, B.O.B," said Susan, "How about Carey?"

"Mary?"

"Lindsay?"

"Barbara?" said Link remembering a name he had heard on the radio a few years back.

"Bobera?" said B.O.B with a smile, "That's perfect!"

"No B.O.B," said Dr. Cockroach, "He said Barbara."

"Actually, I like Bobera better," said Link.

"Well, what do you think?" Susan asked the pink blob.

"I like it!" she replied.

"Okay then," said Monger, "Your name is officially Bobera, and like I said before this is your home but you may come and go as you please just as long as you don't destroy anything."

"I think I'm going to like it here," said Bobera as she looked over at B.O.B with a smile.

**Well, I hope you liked this chapter. Don't ask me why I named her Bobera, I just thought it would be a good monster name. I'm not sure when I'll update, and I might delete this story if it doesn't get good results. So please rate and review, AND NO FLAMING!!!**


	2. Chapter 2

**Chapter 2: Friends with Advice**

In about three days, Bobera had settled in. She had made friends with everyone there, especially B.O.B. They were like best friends. B.O.B had taught her how to pull out her eyeball and bounce it against the wall, and told her stories about all his adventures.

"So, you and B.O.B seem to be good friends," Susan said to Bobera one day.

"Yeah, he's great. I feel like I've known him all my life. He's so funny! He's also friendly and caring and..."

"Cute?" said Susan with a smile.

"Is that how you feel about Dr. Cockroach?" Bobera asked Susan.

"What?!" she said off guard, "no no no, I mean, Doc and I are friends but..."

"Your face is turning pink," interrupted Bobera, "Anyway, do you think he likes me?"

"Of course he does," said Susan with a comforting smile, "Why wouldn't he?"

"No, I mean, does he like like me?"

"Woah girl," said Susan, "You don't really want to rush a relationship. Sometimes it's just nice to stay good friends for a while before things get too serious."

"It is?" Susan nodded. "I like being friends, but I just can't get him out of my head, is that a bad thing?"

"Oh honey, you just have a crush on him."

"Like you do with Doc..."

"Okay, change of subject," said Susan before Bobera could say anything else, "How 'bout you and I have a Girls Night Out tonight, sound good?"

"Sounds great!" replied Bobera. After B.O.B, Susan was her best friend. It would be nice to have a night without thinking about B.O.B (not that it was always a bad thing).

*******

While Susan and Bobera were out on the town, B.O.B and Link decided to play cards and Doc decided to work on an old Ham radio he found in the dump.

"This time, I'm gonna win," said B.O.B trying to intimidate Link.

"I doubt that," said Link with a cocky smile as Insectosaurus took his usual place behind B.O.B, "So, how's Bobera?"

"Oh, she's great! She has the greatest laugh, and she's so sweet, and it's like every time she enters she brightens up my day, just like how Doc feels about Susan."

"What?!" said Doc, a little off guard.

"Yeah, like how you feel about Susan," repeated B.O.B.

"B.O.B, Susan and I are friends but..."

"Oh come off it!" said Link, "Even B.O.B, who I remind you DOESN'T have a brain, can see it. _You like Susan! You like Susan!"_

Dr. Cockroach simply rolled his eyes and went back to his radio. "Somebody's blushing," said Link. Doc threw a screw at him that hit him squarely on the head. "Ow! Geez, can't you take a joke?"

"I'm thinking of telling her I love her," said B.O.B casually. That caught everyone off guard.

"Woah Woah Woah!" said Link, "You obviously don't know anything about women. You can't tell her you love her now, you'll scare her off!"

"What Link is trying to say," said Dr. Cockroach, "Is that you should wait a while. Stay friends for a while, get to know each other, go on a couple dates, and _then _you tell her you love her."

"Ohhhhh," said B.O.B, "Okay. You know what, you guys are the greatest. I'm gonna take you guys' advice, as soon as she gets home, I'm gonna ask her out on a date."

"Yes, good B.O.B," said Doc, "Wait, what? No! B.O.B, we didn't mean...."

"We're home!" Everyone turned, Susan and Bobera were home.

"Hey, Bobera!" said B.O.B as he ran towards her.

"B.O.B, no!" shouted Doc & Link in unison thinking this wasn't going to end well.

"Do you wanna go on a date tomorrow night?"

Link and Doc both braced themselves for Bobera to say a polite but still hurtful "no" since most girls don't want to go on a date after only knowing a guy for three days, or at least an awkward silence. What came next surprise them both.

"Sure! I'd love to!"

**Okay, sorry if this chapter was short. The next chapter will be B.O.B's date. I hope everyone's enjoying this, please rate and review, I'd really appreciate it :)**


	3. Chapter 3

**Chapter 3**

**AN: I know this chapter starts of weird but it's just setting up the next chapter, just stick with me, it will have B.O.B and Bobera's date in it. Also, I'm gonna stop saying B.O.B and just say Bob because it's easier. Okay, let's get this party started.**

**Somewhere in a science lab**

In a cage in a corner there is a mutated wolf-like creature. It has spikes on it's back, and shiny, red eyes. It's pacing and it is connected to a bunch of wires. It was also wearing a muzzle.

"I have the results from the experiment," said a scientist, "It has the strength of 10 elephants, and if it bites another wolf, it will also mutate. It can bite through steel, and I say this experiment is now too dangerous to let live."

"What, are you saying?" said a female scientist, "you're going to kill him?!"

"Mini," said the other scientist calmly, "These mutation experiments were designed to make animals stronger, but this one has made this wolf blind with rage, if we let it go it will kill everything in it's path. We have no choice."

The scientist filled up a syringe with red liquid and walked slowly towards the cage. But the creature was not stupid, it knew what the scientist was going to do. As soon as the scientist stuck his arm in the cage, the wolf attacked. Even with the protection the scientist was wearing, the wolf cut through his arm as if it was made of paper. The scientist let out a yell and fell to his knees. Now that it was out of danger, the wolf started tearing apart it's muzzle. When it finally fell off, it bit the bars on the cage and tore them off until there was a hole big enough for her to jump through. With one scientist kneeling with pain and the other cowering in fear, the beast decided to finish it's attack.

After he finished, the wolf jumped through a window and ran deep into a forest.

**Back at Area 5***

"I can't believe she said yes," said Link to his friends, "I guess that jell-O made Bob into quite the ladies man."

"Well, I think she said yes because they've been good friends since the moment they met," said Susan, "I guess blobs make connections and have relationships quicker than we do. I guess they were both ready to take the next step, and I think it's sweet."

"Yes they are quite a couple," said Dr. Cockroach.

"Okay, we're ready!" Everyone turned. They saw Bob and Bobera holding hands. Bob was wearing a bow tie and Bobera was wearing a purple dress that she borrowed from Susan and a pearl necklace (she couldn't really wear makeup).

Since the monsters had saved the world, they were given free reservations and free food from every restaurant, and free admission to almost every amusement park, movie theater and anything else fun. So Bob and Bobera were planning on going out to dinner at a place that had an all-you-can-eat buffet, and then seeing a movie. Insectosaurus had volunteered to give them a ride.

"You two have fun," said Dr. Cockroach.

"We will," said Bob and Bobera in unison.

Dinner was fantastic. They had eaten most of the buffet and when they weren't eating, they talked about everything from their friends to what tastes the best (Bob said the mashed potatoes, Bobera said the silverware o.0)

After the dinner, they went to the movies and split an extra-large popcorn. They both loved the first half of the movie, the second half was when they got kicked out for being to loud. But they didn't care, they were both having the night of their lives.

"So, how was your date?" asked Link when they came home.

"It was wonderful!" said Bobera.

"Yeah, I don't think I've had this much fun since I was with Jell...." Suddenly Bob stopped.

"Jell?" asked Bobera, "Who's Jell?"

"Um, an old friend," said Susan trying to save Bob.

"Actually, she was my girlfriend, and her name was Jell-O," said Bob before he hit himself in the head, "Doh! Why did I say that?!"

"So, what was Jell-O like?" asked Bobera.

"Oh she was boring, really really boring," said Bob.

"I see," said Bobera knowing Bob was lying, "so what did Jell-O look like?"

"Oh, she had pineapple chunks, and she had cute green skin, and when she's in the sunlight just right, it almost looks like she glows like she was made from gods, and..." Suddenly, Bob stopped himself before he could screw up anymore.

"I see, she looked like she was made by gods."

"I didn't mean that!"

"Well, if you'd prefer some girl who was made by gods, then someone who was made in a humble snack factory, then why don't you just go back to dating her!" And with that, Bobera headed towards her room.

"Bobera wait!" But it was too late, she already went into her room. "Aw, I feel so stupid."

"Wow, you're right Susan, they do have relationships fast. Most couples don't have their first fight until their third date," said Link. Susan flicked him in the head.

"Now she's mad at me," said Bob, "What do I do now?"

"Well, just let her cool off for a few minutes and then go apologize to her," said Dr. Cockroach trying to help his friend.

"Okay, Thanks Doc."

******

*Knock knock knock* "Bobera?" No answer. Bob went in anyway. "Bobera, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say those things."

"But you really mean those things about her. I could tell it in your voice, you were speaking from your heart."

"But I don't have a heart, or a brain, or lungs, or..."

"You know what I mean! It's just that, it hurts when your boyfriend thinks someone is more beautiful than I am."

"What? Look Bobera, if you want stuff from the heart, which I still don't understand, then listen to this." He took Bobera's hand, she looked up.

"You are the most beautiful blob I have ever met. You have the greatest laugh, you are a great listener and you're fun to talk to. You're so caring, and nice, and sweet. You're smart, and you're special. You have LSD, I think that's what makes you smart. Anyway, what ever it is, you are the most beautiful, unique, funny, caring, and sweet blob I've ever met! And that was from the heart."

"Oh Bob, that was so sweet." Bobera right away hugged him. "I know you didn't mean to hurt my feelings, you're the sweetest guy I know, you could never hurt anyone's feelings on purpose. And you are the greatest friend I've ever met."

"Wait," said Bob excitedly, "You mean we're still friends?!"

"Of course!"

"Yay!" Bobera giggled and hugged Bob again.

Suddenly an alarm went off in their room.

"What's going on?" asked Bobera.

"That's the alarm that means we have to capture a monster," said Bob.

**And I'm gonna leave you with that mini cliffhanger. As you can probably guess, the gang's gonna have to capture the creature you read about in the beginning of this chapter. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. And please, if you read it REVIEW IT! That is all :)**


	4. Chapter 4

**Chapter 4**

The monsters were all on Insectosaurus heading towards a forest.

"This is going to be a piece of cake," said Link, "It's just one mutated wolf."

"But Monger said it was as strong as 10 elephants," reminded Susan.

"But we can take him on, right guys?" asked Link.

"Yeah!" shouted Bob who was now pumped up.

When they finally landed in the forest, there was an eerie silence as if waiting for a storm to start.

"I'd say we stay together," said Susan, "We don't really know what we're up against."

Before anyone could reply, they heard a low growl.

"What was that?" asked Bobera with a hint of fear in her voice, holding Bob's hand.

"Look!" said Bob. It was the wolf-like creature.

"Look, it's a little puppy dog," said Link, "Like I said before, piece of cake!"

Suddenly, about twenty more wolves came up behind the wolf. Link took a couple steps back, now he was scared.

"What happened to 'just one wolf'?" asked Susan.

"The mutated wolf probably bit a normal wolf, and now there's a whole pack of them!" shouted Dr. Cockroach.

"Great detective work, Sherlock," said Link, "Now what do we do now?!"

"Run!" They all started running towards Insectosaurus but the wolves were faster. They had no choice but to fight. Link started punching and throwing wolves but they just wouldn't stay down. Susan pulled a tree out of the ground and started hitting wolves that running and jumping towards her as if she was hitting baseballs with a bat. She missed a couple times and the wolves stared biting her legs, but she quickly pulled them off before she got bitten too badly.

Since Dr. Cockroach didn't have strength like Link or Susan, he pulled out a laser from his lab coat pocket that could stun the wolves and started shooting. As for Bob and Bobera, they were doing what was in their instincts, eating the wolves and spitting them out.

More wolves kept coming. Two wolves started to bite Bobera and stretch her out.

"Help!"

"Get away from her!" shouted Bob. He ate both wolves and spat them out after a few seconds. After the wolves regained their breath, they ran away whining as if they had just seen hell.

"There's too many of them!" shouted Susan.

"These dumb wolves just won't stay down!" shouted Link.

"We need to get to Insectosaurus!" shouted Dr. Cockroach. Everyone ran as fast as they could towards Insecto. They had barely made it, but they had managed to get on Insecto. Unfortunately, the wolves were right on their tale. A couple jumped on Insecto, but Link threw them off before they could bite him.

Once they were in the sky, it took a few moments for everyone to catch their breath. Those wolves were the toughest things they had ever faced.

"What do we do now?" asked Susan.

"Those things are impossible to beat!" shouted Link.

"And the longer we wait..." started Dr. Cockroach.

"...the more mutants there are," finished Susan.

"Maybe we don't have to defeat them," said Bobera. Everyone looked at her.

"What?" asked Bob.

"If we can get the wolves into a giant cage, and take them to our house, then we defeat them there."

"Brilliant idea!" shouted Dr. Cockroach.

"But how do we get them into the cage," asked Susan.

"Wait!" shouted Bob, "When I ate the wolves, and then spat them out, they ran away! I can eat the wolves, spit them out, and they will ran towards the cage, and get trapped!"

Everyone looked at Bob. It was a good plan, but it was risky.

"You can't do it alone," said Bobera, "I'm gonna help."

"You sure?"

"Yes Bob," said Bobera, "I can't let you do it alone. Besides, that's what friends do."

*******

Everyone was in the forest again. They had gotten a giant glass cage that was so strong, even Insecto couldn't destroy it (You'd be amazed what they have lying around at a secret faculty).

In the middle of the forest, where most of the wolves were spotted, was Bob and Bobera. They would absorb the wolves, they would spit them out and hopefully the wolves would run towards Doc, Link, and Susan. Doc would open and close the cage, and Susan & Link were there to throw wolves into the cage in case they ran past the cage or escape.

"Hey Bobera," said Bob.

"Yeah?" asked Bobera with a hint of fear in her voice.

"I just want you to know, that if you get scared or anything, you can run away. I'll be okay, as long as you're okay."

"No, we're both in this together," She gave Bob a smile, "I've got your back."

"Okay," said Bob, "Let's do this." Bob regurgitated a flare gun and shot it up in the sky. Dr. Cockroach said that when they shot the flare gun, the wolves would instantly run towards the light or the noise and try to destroy it.

After a few moments, they could both see red, fiery eyes in the trees. Bobera gasped and took Bob's hand. Almost as if on cue, the wolves attacked. But as soon as they pounced on the blobs, they were instantly absorbed. They suffocated them for a couple moments and then shot them out towards the direction of the cage. Just like the wolf before, as soon as they regained their breath, they ran off towards the cage.

Back at the other side of the forest, Doc, Link and Susan were all ready. They also had a few reinforcements Monger had sent, including Monger himself! As soon as they saw the first pack of wolves, they opened the cage. Most wolves were so scared, they didn't even notice the cage. Others saw it and started heading left or right, where they either met Link, Susan, or someone's stun gun.

After about five minutes, all the wolves seemed gone.

"We did it!" shouted Bobera with happiness.

"Alright!" said Bob, "You know all that wolf swallowing and then spitting out made me hungry, I wonder what's for lunch." Bobera giggled at him. But little did they know that there was one last wolf waiting in the shadows.

It was the alpha wolf. The wolf that was mutated in the lab. The angriest of all. It instantly jumped from it's hiding place.

But this mutated creature was smarter than the others. It didn't pounce on them. As soon as the beast landed on the ground, it bit Bobera's arm.

"Hey! Get off of her!" shouted Bob. But the beast didn't care what Bob had to say. This was his pray. It instantly took as fast as a motorcycle, and dragging Bobera with him.

"Bob!"

"Bobera!"

Even though the beast was ten times faster than Bob, Bob had the stronger will. He stretched out his arms, grabbed the wolf's tail, and pulled himself along side it.

But the wolf slammed Bob against a tree. Unfortunately for the wolf, Bob was indestructible. Bob, not fazed by it at all, grabbed the wolf's fur and pulled as hard as he could. The beast growled angrily. It was about to let go of Bobera and bite Bob when it tripped over a tree root. It fell down a hill, taking Bob and Bobera with it. Bob let go and landed on the grass, while bobera and the beast continued rolling down the hill.....right of a cliff! They both landed in a raging river!

"Bobbbbbbbbbbb!!!!!!!!"

As soon as Bob heard her voice, he instantly got up and looked over the cliff. Bobera and the wolf had landed in the water. The wolf had let Bobera and go and was trying to stay afloat, and so was Bobera.

Bob instantly remembered something Doc had said to him.

_Bob had just tried to swim in Link's tank._

"_Bob, you have to be more careful," said Dr. Cockroach sternly, "If you spend to much time in water you'll disintegrate!"_

"Oh no," said Bob. For him, there was no time to think. He jumped over the edge and into the water.

"Bobera?! Bobera!" Bob shouted.

"Bob!" Bob turned. He saw Bobera! He also saw the edge of a waterfall!

"Stretch out your arm to me!" shouted Bob.

"I can't!" replied Bobera trying to stretch out her arm. It was like a wet noodle. And in a few moments, she wouldn't have an arm.

Bob stretched out his arm as far as it could go. He just had to reach her! Finally, he felt the warm sensation of another hand. He gripped it as tight as he could. Then, with his free arm, he grabbed a nearby tree branch and pulled as hard as he could.

"Don't worry! We're almost there!" shouted Bob.

"Hurry! I don't think I can feel my arms!"

Finally, they had made it to shore. They were both panting and breathing heavily. Bob looked at his fellow blob. She had gotten really pale, she had turned a light pink, almost clear. She had also shrunk a foot. But in Bob's eye, she was still beautiful.

"You're....alive," said Bob smiling.

"Yeah I am," said Bobera smiling, "and you saved me."

"I had to," replied Bob, "Doc said that us blobs would disintegrate if we were in water too long."

"Wait, you risked your life for me? You could of been killed, and you did it...for me?"

"Of course I did," said Bob taking Bobera's hand, "I couldn't let you get destroyed. Bobera.... I love you."

"Oh Bob," said Bobera with tears running down her eyes.

"What, are you okay? Why are you crying?" asked Bob worried.

"Oh Bob," said Bobera smiling, "They're happy tears. I love you too!" And with that, she pressed her lips against his.

Bob had kissed before, using his Jell-O, but it wasn't like the real thing. Bob now understood what the big deal was about kissing.

They had kissed for about a minute before they heard whines coming from the river. They both looked. It was the creature, and it had just went over the falls. There was no possible way it could of survived that.

"Well," said Bob, "Looks like that problems solved."

"Hopefully that's the last one," added Bobera. Both of them never wanted to see another mutant wolf again.

"There they are!" Bob and Bobera looked up. It was their friends! Susan reached down and lifted them up on the cliff.

Oh, thank god you two are all right!" said Susan.

"Where are the wolves?" asked Bobera.

"They're on a helicopter heading to a place where we'll dispose of them humanly," answered Monger.

"What happened to you guys?" asked Link, "We came to get you and you weren't there. Then we heard screams."

"It's a long story," said Bob, "We'll tell you later."

*******

Everyone was on Insecto, and the newest couple had just telling their story.

"That's one heck of a story," said Monger when they had finished.

"You're quite the hero, Bob," said Dr. Cockroach.

"Thanks Doc," replied Bob.

"So, you two are officially dating?" asked Susan.

"Uh huh," said Bobera smiling and grabbing her boyfriend's hand.

"Yep," said Bob, "And she's the best person I'll ever date. Better then Jell-O or Derek!"

"Aw Bob," said Bobera, "That's so sweet... wait, who's Derek?"
